Cracking comprehension
Once children have completed the Read Write Inc programme to become a fluent reader they move onto Cracking Comprehension. Cracking comprehension is a programme used to help children practice and improve their reading comprehension skills across a range of text types and genres. A range of different units are completed each half term as these have been mapped out across the year.
